ARF program activities are based on received grants, besides we also provide targeted support to those people affected by problems connected with drugs, their families and friends.

It is difficult to get grants on this activity that is why we collect private donations.

ARF needs your support to continue providing lifesaving health and human rights aid to young disadvantaged drug users on the streets of Moscow, Russia. You can find a description of our project and donate here.

The European Court of Human Rights has communicated a complaint from the Andrey Rylkov Foundation helping drug addicts. Six years ago, the Russian Federal Drug Control Service found appeals for drug use on their website and banned it.

Russia accounts for nearly two-thirds of all new HIV infections in the European region, the report found. After Russia, Ukraine has the second largest HIV epidemic, with 240,000 people living with HIV. Drug users are most at risk.

The requirements of the Prosecutor's Office are absolutely illegal and we will appeal against them. We consider that the situation is completely unacceptable as we have to pay these illegally imposed fines instead of spending this amount of money on saving lives, protecting people from HIV and preventing drug overdoses.
